To run GS/OS from a ProDOS 8 boot-up, just change the prefix to the
prefix of the GS/OS disk and execute the ProDOS file in the Root
directory.

You can even set up a single disk with both systems on it...

/My.Sys              (Root Directory)
   ProDOS            (P8  -  In my case P8 1.8)
   Basic.System      (Or any other .System file)
   Startup           (A small startup program in Basic)
   GSOS              (ProDOS - the one found on the GSOS Disk)
   /System           (GSOS System folder w/contents)
   /Icons            (GSOS Icons folder w/contents)
   Basic.Launcher    (GSOS Basic.Launcher)
   /AppleTalk        (GSOS AppleTalk folder w/contents)

60 PRINT
70 PRINT "1  -  GSOS 5.0"
80 PRINT "2  -  ProDOS 1.8 System"
90 PRINT "3  -  Applesoft Basic"
100 GET A$
110 IF A$ = "1" THEN PRINT CHR$(4)"-GSOS"
120 IF A$ = "2" THEN PRINT CHR$(4)"BYE"
130 IF A$ <> "3" THEN GOTO 100
140 END


Of course this is a very crude but effective way of creating a startup
that contains both systems including AppleSoft Basic.

Hope this helps.....
